DOST holds National Science and Technology Week  The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) kicks off its annual National Science, Technology, and Innovation Week (NSTW) 2025 at Laoag City, Ilocos Norte, on Nov. 18, 2025 with a focus on inspiring the next generation of scientists. The opening of NSTW, the ‘Jungle Trails to City Tales,’ gathered students across the city to ensure that science research could be comprehended—especially by kids—through various activities. Dr. Bernardo Sepeda, DOST-National Research Council of the Philippines executive director,  told The Manila Times the importance of reaching out to children across the country to spark their interest in science at an early age. NSTW aims to raise awareness and showcase research, technologies, and services that address societal issues.

00:12Itong ating talk, ito yung kailangan nating audience,

00:16and they recommended yung mga schools na to.

00:19Usually, mga science school dito sa Lawag yung in-invite natin.

00:22Kasi nga, ang gusto natin, kaya ang NSW ating inigagala.

00:47Remember, in DOST, we have what we call 1DOST,

00:51where we help each other, we support each other, we ask each other

00:55for yung mga ganito technical assistance.

00:59And not only that, it's also a testament to how science should be.

01:05Science is collaborative. Science is inclusive.

01:09Hindi pwedeng sabihin ng isang scientist, mas magaling ako sa'yo.

01:12That's how science works.

01:14In the field of science, we need to work together.

01:18Hindi pwedeng sabihin ng isa, mas maganda itong ginagawa ko over you.

01:22In DOST, we share our findings to everybody.

01:27Pero, sir, how are we making sure na sustainable po ito,

01:31na we keep the interest alive for the kids po?

01:33Maganda tanong yan.

01:34In fact, ito ay hindi lang namin ginagawa pag NST GOV.

01:38Ginagawa namin ito throughout the year.

01:41So, meron kaming ongoing pinatawag namin expert to class.

01:51These are activities where we go from one region to another during the off season ng NSTW.

01:58At this year nga, siguro, nakaikot kami ng around 8 regions.

02:04At hindi lang ito yung first time na ang audience ay kids.

02:07In fact, sa GenSign, ang audience namin mga special kids.

02:12Yeah, yung mga PWDs, yung mga children with special learning needs.

02:18At kinikwento namin ang science sa kanila.

02:21They were very appreciative kasi first time na merong nakikwento tungkol sa tarantula

02:27sa mga batang may special needs.

02:29And that's what we do.

02:31So, para sustain ba yung entusiasam?
